Gossip Girl is another popular show among teenagers as well as adults. The show was developed by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. Gossip Girl is about a mysterious blogger that reveals secrets about teens in the Upper East Side, NY. Sophia Toxter is a Gossip Girl fan that was willing to answer questions about why Gossip Girl was her favorite show. “The best season was Season 2. I would say this because everyone was getting ready to graduate and it was interesting to see what their choices were in them going on their paths. Plus, there were love interest dramas between the main characters which kept the show lively.” Gossip Girl is able to show many teens what life has to offer as well as being able to let adults relive their teenage years by watching the show. The show is dramatic bringing many romances throughout the show attracting a largely female audience but still being enjoyable and entertaining for male watchers.
